The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,004 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,454 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A commercial flight aboard an Airbus A321 took off from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 08R. Prior to departure, the aircraft taxied from its parking position for approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The takeoff roll was completed in 5,530 feet, which accounted for 55% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the flight climbed to cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 83°F, with a wind speed of 3 knots from 49 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft successfully reached its cruising altitude of 37,232 feet in 22 minutes, covering 137 nautical miles and climbing 35,163 feet from its initial altitude of 2,069 feet.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles west of the Rockwood Municipal Airport (KRKW) in Tennessee, lasting 20 minutes and covering 230 nautical miles. The crew then started the descent from 37,273 feet to 16,108 feet, decreasing 21,165 feet in 7 minutes and covering 74 nautical miles. This was done in preparation for the next enroute level cruise, which started 2 miles southeast of the Charloe Airport (53OH) in Ohio. This cruise lasted 3 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles.
The aircraft then initiated a descent from 16,036 feet to 5,842 feet, a decrease of 10,194 feet in 8 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles. In the next leg, the crew entered another level cruise from 2 miles southwest of the Brablec Farms Airport (MI02) in Michigan, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The final descent began 4 miles northeast of the Lada Airport (7MI5) in Michigan, where the aircraft descended to an altitude of 1,945 feet in 6 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03R at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport was initiated from the southwest, heading 29.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,303 feet above ground level. Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the centerline of the runway, with a runway length of 10,004 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 134 knots.
The touch-down distance was 1,461 feet, which was 45% of the available runway length. Although the touch-down speed of 129 knots was a little fast, it was within acceptable limits. The touch-down rate of -231 fpm was fair, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the destination were 73°F, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 40 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft took approximately 3 minutes to taxi from the runway to its parking position, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance covered was 536 nautical miles, lasting 77 minutes and utilizing 9,395 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an Airbus A321, successfully landed on runway 03R at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, KDTW. The final approach began from a position with a bearing of 29.0 degrees and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, with an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl). A score of 99.7% was achieved, indicating an exceptionally successful landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 134 knots, well within the optimal threshold speed range. The touchdown distance was 1,461 feet, which is less than the effective landing distance available on runway 03R, measuring 10,004 feet in length. Although the touchdown speed was just slightly above the recommended range, coming in at 129 knots, it did not pose a significant issue during the landing process.
The aircraft's rate of descent was fair, with a value of -231 feet per minute, while its runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting precise control during the final stages of the approach. Weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively favorable, with a temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle headwind of 1 knot. The wind direction was from the southwest at 40 degrees, with crosswind and wind speed at near zero and 2 knots respectively.
Following the touchdown, the A321's rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and adherence to standard operating procedures. The total landing distance was recorded at 4,468 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway's total length. Overall, the landing was successfully executed, with minor deviations from optimal performance.
